GARUT, Thecuy.com – The Garut District Fire and Rescue Department (Disdamkarmat) recorded a notable rise in fire incidents throughout 2026.
Based on fire handling data up to September 6, 2026, a total of 450 fire cases were recorded.
This number rose compared to the total of 225 incidents recorded in 2025.

“Meanwhile, 246 other incidents were land fires. Thus, there was an increase of 225 cases, or about 100 percent compared to all fire incidents in 2025,” he said on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
This comparison indicates that the rise in fire incidents in 2026 was mainly driven by a higher number of land fires.
He explained that the most concerning condition was the increase in land fire cases.
In 2025, the Garut District Fire and Rescue Department recorded 21 land fire incidents. By September 6, 2026, the figure had risen to 246.
According to the data, there was an addition of 225 incidents, which is about 1,071.43 percent higher than the number of land fires recorded throughout 2025.
He stated that the biggest surge in 2026 occurred in August with 122 incidents, followed by July with 81 incidents.
